Erik Swyngedouw, University of Manchester, UK Long Description Water managers in the 21st Century face a complex variety of interacting challenges. Though Europe is generally well supplied with water resources to meet its needs, there are regions of chronic shortage as well as regions of unacceptably low quality water. Where either of these is the case, there are strong arguments for a pan-European approach to balance out surpluses and deficits, especially amongst EU current and prospective members.Illustrated with boxed case studies which explain key concepts and provide practical examples, this book provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to water management issues from a European perspective. While firstly detailing the history of water management, the book then puts forward the major frameworks used for managing water in its qualitative and quantitative aspects, examines key water management issues: such as dams, privatisation and hydropolitics, and finally provides a synoptic treatment of major water management issues in all 27 EU nations.
